Dear York1 Waste Management,…

Dear York1 Waste Management,
I am writing to express my strong concerns about the proposed waste management facility in Dresden. As a resident of this community, I am deeply invested in protecting our environment and ensuring the health and safety of our citizens.
I understand that there is a need for proper waste management in our country, but I strongly believe that there are better locations for such a facility. Our soil and lands are crucial for our country's food production and sustaining our communities. It is concerning to see that the proposed facility will have a maximum average residual waste limit of up to 1,000 tonnes per day for final disposal at waste disposal landfills. This amount is not only significant, but it could also have a negative impact on our soil and land quality, threatening our ability to grow produce and feed our country.
Furthermore, the proposed facility also includes a maximum of up to 3,000 tonnes per day of non-hazardous solid waste materials, such as construction and demolition wastes, that will be processed into recycled materials. While recycling is important, I am worried about the potential air and water pollution from processing such a high volume of waste. This could have detrimental effects on the health and well-being of our community.
On top of that, the proposed facility also includes a maximum of up to 3,000 tonnes per day of soil and soil-like materials for processing into recycled materials. As mentioned before, our soil is vital for our country's food supply. We should not be putting it at risk by allowing a waste management facility to operate in our community.
I urge you to reconsider the location of this facility and look for alternative sites that would not have such a significant impact on our environment and community. Let's work together to find a solution that can meet the needs of proper waste management while also protecting our valuable soil and land resources.
Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I hope that you will give careful consideration to the impact this facility could have on our community and make the right decision by choosing another location.
Sincerely,
Concerned citizen
